Owasso Zoning Code includes tree preservation provisions as part of its landscaping regulations. Property owners must maintain trees to prevent hazards. Dead or damaged trees posing a danger must be removed. Oklahoma law allows trimming neighbor's branches at the property line without harming the tree's health. Development projects must comply with tree preservation requirements.
Owasso may have protected tree ordinances for specific species (elms, pecans, post oaks). Heritage trees may require permits for removal. Street trees are city property; do not trim without authorization. Oklahoma ice storms cause significant and frequent tree damage - post-storm trimming and removal is a recurring issue. Development projects must submit tree surveys. Branches overhanging your property from a neighborβs tree can be trimmed to the property line.
Unauthorized removal of protected trees: $250 to $5,000+ per tree. Replacement planting may be required.
